CURRENTLY...

how are you feeling?

unclench your jaw, sit up a lil straighter...

guest spot recap !

wonderful fellow artist Luz (@eenchwyrm) & i ventured outside of our home studios here in indiana to have the honor of exploring:

@ My Little Needle Tattoo & Fine Art Studio in Plymouth, MI

+ what a BLAST !!
+ the studio alone buzzed with good history & energy -- it's an incredibly hospitable space to work in
+ we had the pleasure of getting to know a lot of their team of incredible artists & staffers!
+ loved being in a new space with so much personality -- i got lost in creation & conversation...listening and communicating felt fun and approachable despite all the excitement of a new space & new people
+ there are still so many new things to observe & learn from such a cool team !
+ everyone's warm welcome means the world 2 me & it's got me charged up!
+ michigan in general?? has a vibrancy that felt different than the parts of indiana i normally exist in. maybe it was the lush trees in the high humidity after recent storms...what a respite
+ ALSO big ups to LUZ -- it was bonkers epic to go on this journey with ya!

enjoy these crunchy digital camera pictures ~
thank u oberon - 4 snapping some pics of me~ & percy - 4 trading flash!

IN OTHER NEWS...

oh good u made it past the guard clown...keep scrollin...

this one might be a little more of a prattle. i haven't been sleeping well lately. my days are sort of overlapping and i keep having dreams that i text family members "are you safe?"

using this part of my blog as an excuse to unravel the lil bits of my brain.

it's cold and wet outside and i can see signs of life! it's crazy how much of a difference that makes.

i used to think spring was just soggy & ugly...i don't think i could recognize or relate to that unflattering in between. but this spring!? the sight of that rhubarb patch that grows behind our trash can -- budding and unfurling a lil bit more every day?!? oh it's blissful. that trash rhubarb could be me if i dream hard enough.

i don't wanna unload to fast here but it feels inevitable that i'd admit -- things have been off! they have been quite fucked, to be real!

trying to cope the best i can. i've been losing myself in these repetitive acts of creation that help lock me into the moment. it feels good to fixate so hard on a single task -- whether that's a color study painting or carving up stamps for prints. wading through territories i'm less familiar with that still feel under my control. having fun! trying to get a good balance of getting lost in my tasks but not isolating myself too hard.

i'm adjusting to the new studio space! excited to adorn the space with knick-knacks & various cursed items. still apprehensive to ask where power tools are...but everyone has been very friendly! it's a jumble of excitement & nerves to meet so many new people all at once, but I've got a good feeling about it!

i'll ramble again on here after the guest spot -- i'm excited to finish some pieces for an art show in June...i'll be at different market events & roaming around different spaces.
thanks for reading!
